Instagram vs. Lightbox vs. PicPlz vs. Aviary and More…

InstaGone! Why I’m Quitting Instagram
I recently posted a pretty self-explanatory pic on my Instagram account and personal & emotional hygiene blog: JohnnyLeCanuck.com inspired by fellow photog and honorary Fat Dad Andre Nantel (pic here for the time being).

Corporate Greed is the Worst Public Relations at Yellow Pages
You know those thick yellow books we all have at home, that are really useful for boosting up kids at the dining table when you run out of actual booster seats? Well, turns-out there was a time before tablets, smart phones, and the Internet when people actually marched their fingers through those books to find…
